NotebookLM is arguably the most acclaimed AI-powered note-taking application currently available. Seamlessly integrated with advanced models such as Google Gemini, it enables users to swiftly generate summaries, annotations, and contextual inquiries. Users can also upload a wide array of document types for in-depth analysis.
The application further harnesses artificial intelligence to transform documents into podcasts and audio files—an exceptional feature for podcast enthusiasts. For those who regularly take notes, NotebookLM is a highly recommended tool to enhance productivity.
Previously limited to a web-based interface, NotebookLM is now available as a native mobile app for both Android and iOS platforms. The mobile experience surpasses that of the browser version, offering improved usability along with support for both light and dark themes, which automatically adapt to the system’s color preferences.
Functionally, the mobile app features intuitive filtering options at the top, including Recent, Shared, Titles, and Downloads, making content navigation effortless. Each vibrant note card displays the notebook title, associated emoji, number of sources, and creation date, along with a convenient play button for audio overviews.
The “New” menu allows users to add PDF files, website links, YouTube video URLs, and plain text. Upon opening a notebook, the content displayed mirrors that of the web version, though the native app offers a far superior experience—free from the constraints of Progressive Web Applications (PWA).
